Hydatid cyst liver rupture into the biliary tree may involve the common hepatic duct, lobar biliary branches, the small intrahepatic bile ducts or rarely the gallbladder. Rupture can be occult or frank. A frank intrabiliary rupture of hepatic hydatid cyst is a rare but serious event. The authors are reporting a case of concomitant rupture of hydatid cyst of liver into right hepatic duct and the gallbladder. A 50-year-old female patient who presented with acute cholangitis was confirmed as a case of intrabilary rupture on ultrasonography, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography. Rupture of hydatid cyst of liver in right hepatic and the gallbladder was confirmed on surgery. Suture repair of cystobiliary fistula, choledochoduodenostomy with cholecystectomy was done.
